Meek Mill has had several probation hearings over the last few weeks, and is awaiting sentencing in February over an alleged violation. Until then, he's completing community service, and according to PageSix, it's interfering with his performances.

It hasn't been 100 percent confirmed that Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj are engaged, but Nicki certainly has marriage on her mind. She just asked her Twitter followers to choose between a beach wedding and a church wedding, and it would be strange if she was asking out of pure curiosity.&nbsp;
RT for beach wedding. Fave for church wedding.

After two No. 1 albums (and one No. 2), Nicki Minaj is tired of people questioning her rapping abilities. "To undermine my skill &amp; diversity as an MC is actually comical @ this point," Minaj wrote on Twitter in response to people who suggested that her success was not directly related to her musical talent.&nbsp;

This summer's beef with Drake seems to follow Meek Mill everywhere he goes, including to court. During yesterday's hearing, prosecutor Noel DeSantis explained that Drake fans "blew up" her phone earlier this year and pleaded with her to arrest Meek.&nbsp;

Meek Mill is facing the prospect of returning to prison&nbsp;for violating probation related to a crime he committed nine years ago. Some have speculated that he violated probation when he traveled to the&nbsp;American Music Awards, which took place in L.A. on November 22.

Earlier today, it was reported&nbsp;that Meek Mill might be heading back to prison. Indeed, the MMG rapper appeared in court this morning (Dec. 10) for possibly violating his probation, which ultimately dates back to a charge he picked up when he was 19 years old.

The 58th Annual Grammy Awards are going down on February 15th, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Today the nominations have been announced, with Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd nabbing quite a few-- Kendrick has eleven&nbsp;nominations, while The Weeknd has seven.
The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" is up for Record of the Year, against Ed Sheeran ("Thinking Out Loud"), Mark Ronson ("Uptown Funk"), Taylor Swift ("Blank Space") and D'Angelo and the Vanguard ("Really Love").

Earlier this week, Nicki Minaj's brother, Jelani Maraj, was arrested for allegedly raping a&nbsp;12-year-old, and while we were already aware that Maraj had made bail, Page Six now reports that the $100,000 bond was supplied by Nicki herself.

Thanksgiving is here, and while we gather with our families to reflect on what we are thankful for this year, we here at HotNewHipHop can&rsquo;t help but reminisce on the year thus far with gratitude. We&rsquo;ve been spoiled with&nbsp;albums and mixtapes, as well as a healthy amount of "comebacks." As analysts of the genre, we&rsquo;ve been overwhelmed with remarkable material from artists upcoming and legendary alike. As fans, our excitement has us feeling young again.

TIME magazine is preparing for their annual Person of the Year cover, and to help with their decision (which will ultimately lie with the TIME editorial team), they've opened up a poll for users to vote.

At the end of June, things were looking better for Meek Mill than they had in a while. Having just been released from prison six months prior, he&nbsp;was dating the hottest and most talented female rapper in the game, and saw the long-delayed&nbsp;Dreams Worth More Than Money&nbsp;receive rave reviews and the number one spot on the Billboard 100.

"Barbershop: The Next Cut," the first "Barbershop" film in 12 years, will be released on April 15, 2016. "Barbershop" is a classic film in its own right, "Barbershop 2" managed not to submarine the franchise, and now "Barbershop: TNC" is on the way, with Nicki Minaj, Eve, and Common joining&nbsp;Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer in the cast.

Tonight, most of the world's biggest pop stars, minus Adele and Taylor Swift, gathered in L.A. for the 2015 American Music Awards. The Weeknd and Nicki Minaj were among the night's big winners, taking home two awards each. The Weeknd's&nbsp;Beauty Behind the Madness&nbsp;won Favorite Soul/R&amp;B Album, and the year's best hip-hop album was awarded to Nicki Minaj's&nbsp;The Pinkprint, which beat out J. Cole's&nbsp;2014 Forest Hills Drive&nbsp;and Drake's&nbsp;If You're Reading This Its Too Late.

Rappers already get pretty creative with the way they dress themselves, but Halloween is the time to take things up a notch. Thanks to Instagram, we got to see a lot of the crazy outfits some of our favorite artists put together.
There were a couple of standouts (The Game as Jidenna, ScHoolboy Q as a giant blunt), but overall everyone did pretty well this year. Still, that guy who dressed up as the Gucci Flip Flop&nbsp;might have the best costume of the year.
